Italian Thistle (Carduus pycnocephalus) on May 14, 2014

Submitter does not have a specimen
EDRR Status: Local expert notified

Description of specimen

I first mistook it for Canadian thistle but the stems were winged, the basal leaves had white mottling, and the flowers seemed more elongated and crowed together. I hope I'm wrong!
